Can she really be THAT tired? Ohhh Yes!



Camilla has turned out to be a champ eatter. You put it in front of her, and off she goes eating away! But aparently being an 8 month old baby is very exhausting, since she kept doing this almost everyother night at dinner and sometimes at lunch. Of course, we thought it was funny (especially Jacob) and could not pass on taking some pictures before putting Sleeping Beauty to bed ;o)

New Years Eve in Australia


OK, I have been BAD about posting since the year started, so here goes my attempt to catch up.

Back in the states we usually hang out at home on NYE, but this year we thought it would be cool to do something fun with the kids. Justin looked around and saw that The Strand (our board walk) was having fireworks at 8pm. So, we rushed to get done with dinner, got the kids ready and left so that we could get a good spot to watch (in asking people, we where told that you could see the show from ANYWHERE you sat). We got there at 7.45 pm, found a nice spot, and started enjoying our delicious scones, when we see people running to the beach to see some fireworks. By the time we got both kids in the pram to move to a location so we could see the show (the "anywhere you sit you can see" suggestion from people was NOT true), the show was over (5 whole minutes in all!) and people where heading to their cars! Needless to say, we were very disappointed, especially Jacob. After walking for a bit (it is LOVELY at the Strand in the evenings), and bumping into a LOT of drunks, we went back home. So our GRAND evening ended up being a Disney movie marathon (Jacob's favorite part of the evening) and a Happy New Year kiss at 11.59! Although the fireworks turned out to be a major disappointment, I can say that we had fun cuddling the kids and watching heaps of kiddie movies :O)
